http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6375080 ought to fix this. I'm going to install it here and run with it for a bit, and send it out to Rawhide if it seems OK.
Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2014-01-08 23:52:09 UTC 
I've sent a build through to Rawhide with the fix for this backported from upstream (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720460 for the upstream report):

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=489106

so closing. If you're still hitting random-looking Shell crashes in Rawhide, it's very likely https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1034467 .
